New Google Chrome - New look and big update for their 10th birthday 🎂

by
•

Chrome is getting a new look today, 10 years after Google’s browser first launched. The new design includes rounded shapes and tabs, a fresh color palette, and updated icons. Google is updating the whole of Chrome to include this new user interface, and altering prompts, menus, and URLs in the address bar to match the new design.

shift+command+open-bracket is the UNIVERSAL symbol for previous tab, and shift+command+close-bracket is THE symbol for next tab. Why remove this? Browser is broken as far as I am concerned.

Pros:

Looks cute?

Cons:

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work!!!!

Maybe they changed it up? On Mac, It seems to now be Option + Command + left arrow for previous tab and right arrow for next tab. Not sure what it is on Windows if you are on Windows

It's always been Option + Command + left/right arrows on the Mac. Still works for me

Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab Are working ok

Changelog for Developers: * CSS Scroll Snap (super nice to make gallery-like interactions!) * Display cutouts (notch support) * Web Locks API * Array .flat() and .flatMap() * OffscreenCanvas (moves work off the main thread into a worker for performance reasons) * CSS conic-gradient https://youtu.be/WF2IjH35w8o https://developers.google.com/we...

Woo! I'm always a fan of browser updates. Maybe this version won't eat up my RAM. 😂

@nickabouzeid It feels slower to me tbh
Melissa Grody
@brunolemos Well, that's disappointing.

OK, it's a very opportunistic comment but for French people, I just released a new episode today of my podcast with Sébastien Gabriel, Senior Visual Designer on Google Chrome. We discuss about Chrome and its design and you'll learn more about the amazing level of details and precision these guys are diving into. Way much more than what strikes the eye ;-) 👉 https://pcast.io/1394731893

On a mac, the new tabs are extremely white, so it looks like staring on a photo flash every time I open a new tab. Wish there was an eye comfort setting.

The top URL input bar has a washed out grey. Which there was more contract between functional and non functional parts of the UI, even when the functional parts are not focused.

I used to hear the cooling fan go on overdrive on the previous version, but I'm using it since 8 hours with no noise.

Pros:

It didn't stress my mac as much as the previous version.

Cons:

Too light and contrast is too low

> it looks like staring on a photo flash Oh come on

I think they overdid it with these super round corners everywhere. Looks cartoonish to me :D (still my favorite browser though.. :p)

Vivaldi has everything but the smart answers already :P plus more... just saying..

Oh shit, this is new? 😅 Canary releases are spoiling me :D

Please let me close the browser via Cmd+Q so I don't have to rage force quit it every time

Pros:

Love the redesign. Was super excited when this landed in Canary

Cons:

"Hold Cmd+Q to quit" is the most annoying thing any software has ever introduced. And I was here for After Effects CC2017 update

Thinh
Chrome menu bar option > click on "Warn Before Quitting (⌘Q)" should do the trick

very smart moves from Google. most people outside of a very technical arena don't even understand what https is or the dns server it is accessing. By transitioning its design language to material, google is unifying the designs of its products (gmail, chrome) to all feel a bit familiar
